The Sword And The Dollar by Michael Parenti

A sharp critique of U.S. foreign policy that argues American power relies on a twin strategy of military force and economic coercion to protect corporate interests and global dominance; through historical case studies and analysis of covert operations, client regimes, and media complicity, it shows how interventions are routinely justified as spreading democracy while in practice undermining sovereignty and popular self-determination. The narrative exposes the structural incentives and ideological cover that sustain imperial behavior and urges a turning toward genuine democracy, social justice, and opposition to militarized, profit-driven foreign policy.
